I'm having some difficulty understanding your statement: >"It's not possible to accurately argue "she would have received a better/more efficient education in a free market society" because that's a counterfactual." Do you mean to say that nobody can ever argue that a historical counterfactual might have been preferable? This would seem to be a rationalization of history, through a refusal to consider alternatives.
